Reinforcements Arrive X Intertwined

Riding on Griffin and Giant Snake.

Melusina and the others arrived at the Boundary before dawn.

A giant Griffin and Giant Snake.

It terrified the people at the Boundary.

Fortunately, a few humans jumped down from above, which reassured them somewhat.

Pakunoda and Kite's companions, who had been waiting for news at the Boundary, immediately came to greet them.

You can tell just by looking at their clothes.

The people in front of you have been through a battle. Just look at Kite and the still unconscious Gon; the bloodstains on them indicate that they have been through a very dangerous fight.

However, no injuries are visible on the surface at the moment.

The commotion drew the attention of the Border Checkpoint official.

His expression turned ugly when he saw the unfamiliar Melusina and her group, and the obvious modern items they wore.

Clearly, someone smuggled themselves in.

He walked over, wanting to say something.

Pakunoda stood right next to him and, without hesitation, punched him in the stomach.

He'd had enough of the person in charge here.

He struck his opponent on the spot, causing him to clutch his stomach in pain, unable to utter a sound.

"What's wrong?" Men Qi looked at the scene with confusion.

Kite seemed to know something, couldn't help but say, "Although you might not listen to what I'm saying,"

But I must say that the NGL Autonomous Region may already be defunct in name only.

"Your underground rulers, those bandits who manufactured drugs in the caves, are all dead."

While he couldn't be certain that everyone in the entire autonomous region was dead, he had to say that at least half of the population had disappeared.

You see, he made his way all the way to the core area, while the Chimera Ant came from the shore.

Chimera Ant don't choose their nest locations randomly; they always choose locations near densely populated villages or settlements.

The area was completely deserted.

The true rulers hidden in the shadows have also been wiped out by the Chimera Ant.

The Chimera Ant appearing in this place, while a very unfortunate combination, is also, in a way, precisely because of this place.

The population density is much lower than that of a normal city.

Even if Chimera Ant eat so many humans, they may not necessarily get much nutrition from it.

In a way, it might be a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Of course, for the local residents, it was a catastrophe.

Melusina ignored these questions and instead asked one.

"Hasn't the Hunter Association arrived yet? Isn't that incredibly slow?"

It has been three days since Pakunoda and the others returned and sent out the notification.

But it seems there's still no news.

But there's no use in rushing now. Melusina didn't wait for a reply and just waved her hand casually.

"Let's go outside and set up camp to rest. There are wounded people here."

At this moment, Kite's face was already pale, Killua was not much better off, and Gon was unconscious.

Although the medicine prevented them from being injured or even killed, taking so much medicine at once during a battle was not a good thing.

It definitely won't recover without a few days of proper rest.

The group arrived at the camp where Pakunoda and the others were resting.

It was nearing noon.

The person who had gone out to deliver the message in Kite's group called back.

They arrived shortly, bringing with them support from the Hunter Association.

Who do you think it could be?

Men Qi asked the others curiously.

She has a wide circle of friends and interacts with various Hunter x Hunter in the Hunter Association year-round.

Therefore, he is quite familiar with the internal workings of the Hunter Association.

"In any case, it should be someone from the Twelve Zodiacs who leads the team, right?" Kite thought for a moment and said.

The Twelve Zodiacs hold a position of prestige and influence within the Hunter Association. While not every member is Martial Faction, there are certainly some Martial Faction are.

Moreover, there are several Three-star Hunter alone.

He felt that only someone of this caliber could possibly handle such matters.

Buhara then interjected, "If we're talking about the Twelve Zodiacs, it might be Porto, the three-star Terrorist Hunter."

Who can be called a terrorist?

Those are truly antisocial individuals, or some truly extremely dangerous beings.

These terrorists are even capable of threatening small countries.

They are not the same as normal criminals at all.

Porto is Three-star Hunter in this field.

Without military force, one cannot obtain such Honor.

However, Kite and Men Qi were not entirely convinced, because the other party's level of expertise was not appropriate.

"I just want the Hunter Association to know the situation here, at least to understand Danger Level it is."

"Melusina said."

She had a fair impression of the Hunter Association, but didn't know much about it.

"Don't worry, the Association is an expert in this area."

Men Qi said confidently, giving a thumbs-up as she spoke.

However, when they came out to greet and saw the support team, they were all shocked.

Because only three people came.

They thought it would be a large group.

The problem is that after they saw who was in charge, they no longer saw anything wrong with the three of them.

Because the leader is...

"Chairman Netero?"

Everyone present was shocked. Every Professional Hunter knew Chairman Netero.

This time, the Chairman personally led the team.

"Wow, so many people have come to greet us!"

Chairman Netero said with a chuckle.

Melusina and the others looked at Chairman Netero.

The aura of the Chairman they saw this time was quite different from what they had seen before.

The Chairman Netero I knew before was just a smirking, unserious old man.

A strong person will recognize that this is a strong person.

But there's no concept of exactly how strong it is.

But things are different now.

Netero exuded a subtle aura, a state of no longer hiding or suppressing himself.

Melusina and the others had just gone through a battle, and their senses were sharpest at that moment.

Clearly, the other side is prepared for a fierce battle.

"Wow, this is truly a gathering of heroes! How come there are so many people?"

Morel, carrying a huge, rod-shaped object wrapped in a white cloth, pushed up his sunglasses and said with a chuckle.

Anyone with good connections would recognize these people.

After all, there are three One-star Hunter here, and they are all very young.

More importantly, I saw Melusina.

He knew Melusina; after all, he had personally sailed the boat to pick her up.

There were definitely more people than I thought.

The unfamiliar man in the suit looked like a smart white-collar worker in the city.

"I didn't expect it would be you in person, Chairman."

Men Qi said with some surprise.

Netero chuckled and casually said, "After all, this incident is very dangerous, more dangerous than we imagined. If it's not resolved soon, the problem will become very serious."

These words brought a sigh of relief to everyone.

After all, Chairman Netero's personal presence shows that the Hunter Association truly takes this crisis very seriously.

Clearly, the Hunter Association understands what these Chimeric Ant mean.

Nobu simply observed that the people in front of him did not appear to be weak, and seemed to have encountered those Chimera Ant before.

But they don't seem to be seriously injured?

Apart from Kite looking somewhat weak, everyone else seemed quite energetic.

Men Qi is an impatient person.

After understanding Chairman Netero's attitude, he still couldn't help but ask, "Is it just the three of you? I think that might not be enough."

"Oh?"

Chairman Netero raised an eyebrow.

"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

Nobu adjusted his glasses and said.

After all, the Chairman himself came.

Men Qi frowned, her temper flaring, and just as she was about to say something, Melusina reached out and stopped her.

You certainly won't believe me if I just say it.

As Melusina spoke, she looked at the Chairman, sharing Kevin's power, and immediately unleashed her full power.

The immense aura, carrying the Resentment infused within it, pressed down directly upon them.

This force directly prompted Morel and Nobu to jump back a step, assuming a fighting stance.

The Chairman stood still, but opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his lips.

The force made an impact for a moment and then receded.

"Do you understand? We escaped, and we even used a drug."

There's no need to explicitly state what a potion is; at this stage, Hunter x Hunter are certainly aware of what potions are.

"Okay, I understand, so the right team is more important, isn't it?"

"And would you leave at this time? Certainly not, so you can also be considered part of it."

Netero chuckled.

"However, you can certainly tell us about what happened to you; more information is always better."

He had a bad feeling.

Are Chimera Ant growing a little too fast?

At the foot of the Volcano.

Kevin was still waiting in the camp.

You seem distracted.

Beget, who was taking notes, looked at Kevin and offered a reminder.

"Aren't you just asking the obvious? I don't believe you're not interested in those invasive species, not to mention they're far more dangerous than we think."

Kevin looked at Beget and said directly.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was intentional on someone's part.

Anyway, even though they had been staying at the foot of this Volcano the whole time, they gained a deep understanding of the problem of this species invasion through the people they were in contact with and various other sources.

They already knew the key points months ago.

Insect.

It really was an insect.

However, their imagination about this insect was far-fetched, exaggerated a hundredfold.

But you can't use potatoes; this isn't a pest infestation.

In situations like these, you have to admit that even if you know the news in advance, if the news is too ambiguous, you'll only feel helpless when it becomes reality.

"Are these Chimera Ant really that strong? I don't understand, where did you get this information from?"

"I can't help it, "Beget asked helplessly.

The information he received was essentially the same as the information Kevin knew.

However, based on the information he received, he didn't think these Chimera Ant were powerful enough to cause Kevin any concern.

How is Kevin supposed to explain that?

Could it be that the explanation for the potato's existence involves divination, and that the prophecy indirectly confirms the power of these Chimera Ant?

After all, Melusina had already reached the stage of Betrothal and was able to share some of her abilities.

He can definitely be considered a strong person.

In addition, Men Qi, Buhaci, and Kite.

This is the kind of team they have.

The prophecy's initial answer was that if Zhang Guo acted rashly or was too cautious, Men Qi would die and Melusina would be seriously injured.

After discussing the prophecy, the best outcome was to focus solely on saving Kite.

Do not act rashly. If you persuade the enemy to retreat, you may avoid serious casualties.

Should we just tell Beget this kind of information directly?

That's impossible.

Based solely on the information from the Pakunoda, it can be determined that these Chimera Ant are very dangerous.

But what level does Beget consider Pakunoda to be?

A newcomer who has only learned Nen ability less than a year ago; he even became Hunter x Hunter last year and only learned Nen ability last year.

Those Chimera Ant might be dangerous, but not enough to cause them any real trouble.

Now that the Hunter Association knows about it, they will naturally send experts to resolve the issue.

That's what Beget thought anyway.

Crises like this are not uncommon in this world, and the Hunter Association often resolves such matters to some extent.

Beget was involved in many of these projects.

Just Bi Zhang and Kevin met.

That organization that also uses genetically modified organisms to commit crimes.

In Beget's eyes, this time was no different from the last.

Beget, knowing Kite's formidable strength, was puzzled.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. When will that damn bird hatch? To be honest, I'm getting a little annoyed waiting these past few days."

Kevin leaned back in his chair, looking quite helpless, before turning his head to look at the Volcano.

The eggs are now beginning to heat up again.

But this fever wasn't due to breathing like before; rather, it was clear that he was about to emerge, having already gathered all his strength.

Waiting for the moment of rebirth.

"You're starting to ask questions you already know the answer to. It'll only be a day or two, at most a week."

Beget was able to clearly see the potato path.

Ichigo couldn't help but advise again, "You still don't trust the Hunter Association. I know you must have your own intelligence channels."

I felt this matter might be very dangerous.

"However, you should know that Chairman Netero's reputation is not because he lived a long life, but because he had a proven track record of combat, back when he was young, of course, only in comparison to now."

"Many of the dangerous incidents he resolved were at a level that endangered the mainland or even society as a whole."

Simply put, Netero, the Chairman, is arguably the most powerful Chairman in the history of Hunter x Hunter, but he is definitely one of the strongest contenders.

His achievements are evident to all.

He even elevated the Hunter Association's status by more than one level.

It's important to remember that at certain times, the Hunter Association was completely subservient to V5.

Some of the Hunter x Hunter's privileges were fought for by Chairman Netero.

He is indeed capable of slightly influencing and challenging the decisions of 5 on his own.

This is absolutely outrageous.

After hearing Beget's words, Kevin was not much more at ease.

Because he had no feelings for the Hunter Association.

As for Chairman Netero...

Kevin could only admit that he was very strong, but Kevin didn't like the Chairman at all, and he didn't have any feelings of admiration or contempt for him.

He can only be described as a respectable elder.

Part of it can also be attributed to his own past infertility.

Because this old man is really annoying.

Kevin wasn't unfamiliar with the old man; during his time as an examiner, he spent a significant amount of time with him.

The old man stared at him all day, looking like he wanted to fight him.

That was a true martial arts fanatic old man.

They were the kind of people Kevin found most annoying.

Kevin himself wasn't combative, so he declined.

Of course, this was under the premise that he knew the old man's personality.

Because when the Biscuit learned that he was going to be an examiner and would be spending a Chairman time with Netero, he had given him a stern warning.

Given his strength, if Zhang Guo doesn't want to be bothered, he should absolutely not play any games with Netero, or even spar with him.

That old man was a martial arts fanatic and very willful; he was a pure Hunter x Hunter.

If Netero finds out that Kevin can hold his own against him, and that he won't even suffer a fatal injury from his attacks...

Kevin's troubles will soon follow.

Biscuit of Netero at a very young age, knew his mentor all too well.

In Biscuit, Kevin was a good kid and couldn't be influenced or harassed by Netero.

What worries Kevin is that he knows too much information.

The phone rang at that moment.

You can tell from the number that it's Melusina calling.

After the call connected, Kevin learned about the current situation and the Hunter Association's support from Melusina.

When the call ended.

Looking at Beget.

Kevin said, "The Chairman himself has come."

However, Beget's expression did not improve upon hearing this news.

Because this matter is really serious.

Kevin understood.

The Hunter Association does seem to be in control of the situation, and may have known about the Chimera Ant's problem even before they did.
